Simple question - i think?
Let's say I am flying into an airport, weather is going to be OVC005 and the airport publishes an ILS and RNAV approach into the favored runway. All approaches have mins of 200' AGL - all approaches basically have the same published missed - climb straight to 1500, left turn to 3000 to hold (The ILS has a heading - the RNAV is a direct to .. but both to the IAF/IF basically). Nothing NOTAM'd INOP and the aircraft is well equipped to handle basically anything. The ILS even has a feeder similar to the T structure of the RNAV - so no difference there either.
So which approach would you choose? ground based or space based? If weather is low with rain etc, do you gain efficiency or reliability using one versus the other? Anything else I'm not considering?
